Red Embrace (BL Visual Novel)

Isaac and Rex routes are certainly the best, but my dark side prayed for a Bishop route. The bastard's hot as fuck aaaaaa

ngl the ending with bishop was hot

oooooo i need to purchase this... i hate my life

I really gotta be honest I downloaded this as a joke at first but i REALLY liked it. A lot. I'm getting into dating sims as a whole chasing how much I enjoyed this and so far this is still the best I've played. To say nothing of the story I even enjoyed the OST a lot and think it fits the game very well (I just happen to rlly like OSTs when consuming media but
never expect much,  was very pleasantly surprised). Overall really loved it and it's already become a sort of comfort game to me

Everyone all like "Game's too short," like bruh, it's only five bucks, what do you want? Sheesh.

Hi, I can translate your game into Spanish, so your VN can reach a wider audience.

Late to the party but I really love this game! All of the thought that went into making this, the flirty jokes, the music and overall mood of the game is just awesome ^^ <3 Full guide here ~

I also started playing Red Embrace: Hollywood and I'm working on a full guide, so for everyone who needs one, I`ll be finished in a couple of weeks! Including the achievements on Steam ^^

Thank you Argent Games for this awesome piece of Art!

not what i expected. it was good, it was nice. my biggest problem with it is that the art style between the character sprites and the cinematic ones were very different. neither of them are bad just....a jarring. the MC (Ash) looks like a whole different character more so than the others.

other than that, good game. nice story, good characters and nice music. (Isaac is my favorite <3)

Red Embrace was really good but way too short, lacked sexual content and some of the endings were depressing like our character becoming too savage as a newly turned vampire and being a slave for Dominic which isn't so bad, but still. It ends so soon we don't get to learn more about what happens next and etc.

I got a question are you gonna add bishops route or no I'm very curious because hes like the villain I wanna see if he really is the villain or hes putting up an act to protect himself

who's luka again

I want a Bishop  route.

Now that I've finished all routes, I want to give my final impression of the game (SPOILERS included, so beware). All in all, I had a lot of fun with Red Embrace.

What I like best is the diversity of the characters. No one is like the other. Everyone has their own unique personality. I especially liked Luka and Isaac. Thanks again to the developers for the free Luka route! If now Bishop would get his own route, I would be completely satisfied. I like evil characters, so it would be great to have one as a love interest. Especially since we don’t really know how he became the leader of the vampires and what motivates him. 

What’s also good is that even some of the negative endings feel like an end and not like a “game over”. In many games you have the impression that only the good endings count. In Luka’s and Isaak’s route, however, I had the feeling of having come to an end, even if it was a negative one.

I also like the changeable interests and personality of the MC. That motivated me to play through the game several times. The only criticism I have is that the interests should have more impact on the actual story line. They were a nice addition, but not nearly as important as the shapeable personality.

In addition to the changeable personality, I also like the way how some dialog options aren’t unlockable if you pick the ‘wrong’ choices and thus the endings can be influenced in one direction or the other. Some visual novels give me the feeling, that they aren’t really games in which you can make wrong decisions, because it is often clear from the beginning, which answer you must choose to reach the "perfect" ending. I am glad that this is not the case here. As a result, the game feels more like a real game. That’s something I really appreciate!

The music is pleasant, too. The tunes are decent, modern and fit well to the dark, urban setting. I especially liked the music that played when Bishop appeared. It was so threatening and dark and always left me with a bad feeling, as if something unpleasant would happen soon.

I also like the character sprites and the CG’s. The characters look very attractive - not too childish or too “cute”, as it is often the case with other BL games. I also like the mix of anime and western style. The backgrounds could be a bit more detailed, but that doesn’t bother me that much. The overall atmosphere is great and it doesn’t take long for you to feel part of the world.

Since English isn’t my native language, I can’t say much about the quality of the dialogues. However, I had the feeling that they were good. I could always understand everything and didn’t notice any mistakes (except for the one part at the beginning of the game, where Luka was being addressed as a “he”, although the MC thought of him as a woman at that point).

At some points I had the feeling that the game was too short. There are some unanswered questions I have. I also think some parts are a bit illogical. in Dominic’s and Rex's route, the protagonist is thinking of becoming a vampire without a single thought about what it means to drink blood forever and endanger other people's lives. Of all the thoughts he had at that moment, I found it odd that he haven’t had moral issues. It is also a bit weird, that in all those years, no vampire became aware of the protagonist, although he has such a particularly tasty blood.

But I don’t want to over-analyze those things, because, as I said before, the game is a lot of fun! So I can overlook such minor discrepancies. I recommend it to anyone who likes vampires, urban settings and BL games. Argent Games stands for quality and you can tell that for this game too. Unfortunately there are only few English written BL games in the western part of the world. So I’m very happy Argent Games exist. I’m really looking forward to their future projects.

Please keep up the good work! : )

OMG!!! I absolutely love Red Embrace. I love Rex, Isaac and Dom! The three of them are who I feel in love with before the Luka Route but now that I was able to buy RE I can go through all the routes without running into the sad endings that made me cry so much! So far I only made it through Rex's Route and it's so satisfying! Thank you so much for making Red Embrace. I love it so so very much! Thank you! I'm gunna take a break before going through Isaacs Route as he's my second favorite. I'm so excited to read it! AAHHH!!! I'm so giddy right now!! xD
